Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Red Hat CVSS v3 Score Explanation
This is a code library. Whether or not user interaction is required depends on how a given application makes use of python-pillow. Therefore, we've marked User Interaction as None (UI:N) because in the worst case scenario use-case of the library, user interaction may not be required. For example, a web service that accepts user uploads and automatically processes them using python-pillow.
